But thankfully, experts predict there is no threat of it hitting our planet.

The rock is an Apollo-type asteroid and was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey in the US this week.

NASA said the object has an estimated diameter between 23 and 71 meters.

NASA ASTEROID WARNING: Four space rocks are set to zoom past Earth this week

That’s similar to the size of a house.

The space agency said after tonight’s near-miss, the 363599 2004 will skim Earth tomorrow.

It said that asteroid has a whopping 380m diameter and will fly by at 10.34pm.

Then on Friday, the 2018 GP will zoom past, followed by the 2014 UR near-miss on Saturday.

All four asteroids have been listed on the "Earth Close Approaches" page and are classed as near-Earth objects (NEOs).

And while they are expected to miss our planet, if one did hit Earth, experts believe it would be worst than the impact of the 59ft asteroid that hit the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013.

That particular blast injured around 1,500 people, and damaged over 7,000 buildings.

IMPACT: If any of the asteroids hit the Earth it would have a devastating impact

On April 10, there were almost 2,000 potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) detected, however none of them is on a collision course with our planet.

PHAs are asteroids larger than 100 meters that can come closer to Earth than 19.5 LD.

To date, astronomers have discovered more than 18,000 near-Earth objects (NEOs).

Top Facts About Asteroids

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. The first asteroid was Ceres, discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi in 1801. There are currently over 600,000 known asteroids in our solar system. Most asteroids are found orbiting in the Asteroid Belt, a series of rings located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

SCARY: The meteor flying over Chelyabinsk, Russia

Only this year nearly 500 such objects were identified.

The space agency is busy preparing for the arrival of the enormous asteroid Bennu.

Bennu is said to be the size of the Empire State Building, and would have devastating effects on civilisation as we know it if it were to crash with Earth.

It is estimated that “101955 Bennu” would unleash 1,200 megatons of energy – which is 80,000 times more than the Hiroshima bomb.
